Hugh Morgan in the 1.40 Navan

[Ex RubyLight]

A class act to win the race with no stirrups. Kept his horse at the back, made steady headway and never thought of giving up. I don’t know what price he was in running, but to race over a circuit under such circumstances and still win the race, left me speechless.

Well done, Hugh!

Tremendous, coming round the home turn I was thinking he must have something in the tank if he’s persevering !!!

One for the best ride of the year poll in December. And it will take a good one to beat it.

We should have a whip round for Hugh because as one wag on twitter has said “he won’t be claiming the childrens allowance” :-D

Hugh Morgan and his bruised organ.

This will be a good display of recency bias when nobody even nominates this for Ride of the Year in December.

[Ex RubyLight]

Not if he was gelded prior to his riding career.

I’ve just watched the race, it’s got to be the ride of the year.
I doubt many would even have carried on without irons after the
1st fence. Outstanding horsemanship from Hugh

The horse touched 500 in-running at Betfair Exchange – that helps quantify the scale of the achievement, I feel.

Just watched the replay, that was an absolutely brilliant riding performance, fully agree with Ruby who gave him 110 out of 10 for it!
Great achievement,he shouldn’t be a 5lb claimer for much longer.
